Definitions
- the present invention relates to a food processing apparatus that performs processing such as cleaning, heating processing, cooling processing, and thawing processing of an object to be processed, and conveyance.
- Patent Document 1 an apparatus having a form as shown in Patent Document 1 below can be cited.
- This accommodates the treatment tank with the upper surface opened in the water tank with the upper surface opened, and supports the treatment tank within the water tank.
- a drive device is provided that lifts the treatment basket to the outside of the water tank and rotates the treatment basket so that the open surface of the treatment basket is inclined in one direction.
- an air blowing device is provided at the bottom of the water tank, and air is blown out from this device so that the food in the treatment basket is washed, and the excluding substances adhering to the food can be separated.
- Patent Document 2 an apparatus shown in the following Patent Document 2 has been proposed.
- the configuration is as follows.
- a chute is provided at one side edge of the treatment tank, a side edge opening is provided at the other side edge, and a water delivery device is provided at a predetermined position of the water tank.
- a step portion is provided at the bottom of the treatment tank, and the step surface of the step portion is arranged so as to face the direction of receiving the water flow generated by the water delivery device.
- a fulcrum pin serving as a center of rotation when the processing rod is tilted and rotated is provided, and a support plate is projected at a position higher than the fulcrum pin.
- a rotating arm with one end fixed to the drive unit is placed along both end faces of the processing rod, and a fulcrum pin is pivotally connected to the support part near the tip, and the upper and lower parts are connected between the arm tip part and the support plate.
- the water delivery device shown in Patent Document 2 is a screw type and is provided alone at the center of one side wall of the water tank. Since the rotating water flow generated from this water delivery device is inevitably biased in the vertical and horizontal directions, if there is too much food to be cleaned, the cleaning does not proceed uniformly and the cleaning effect may be biased. If two screw-type water delivery devices are mounted side by side and are driven so as to rotate in the opposite directions, the water flow in the entire aquarium circulates symmetrically, so that there is no bias, so this problem is solved. However, if two water delivery devices are provided, the facilities become complicated, and it takes time for maintenance after use, and the time required for food processing operations increases substantially. Moreover, since the installation cost and the running cost are extra, the cost has been significantly increased compared to a food processing apparatus having a single water delivery device.
- the piping structure becomes complicated if it is attempted to circulate while suppressing the consumption of water. For this reason, dust, oils and fats contained in the water to be circulated easily block the nozzle, and sometimes stick to the inside of the pipe, causing a problem in maintenance.
- an object of the present invention is to eliminate uneven treatment due to water flow with a structure that can be easily maintained after use without increasing the number of mounted drive units.
- a treatment tank having an open upper surface is accommodated in a water tank having an open upper surface, the treatment tank is supported in the water tank, and is lifted to the outside of the water tank so that the open surface of the treatment tank is
- a food processing apparatus provided with a drive device that rotates to incline in one direction, Having an external water tank in contact with the water tank, The partition wall separating the water tank and the external water tank can pass the water flow from the external water tank at a position below the water level of the water tank at the time of food processing and above half the deepest depth of the water tank.
- the first water flow passage is provided, In the treatment tank, a second water flow passage port capable of introducing a water flow from the first water flow passage port is provided at a position facing the first water flow passage port when stored in the water tank, and , Water can enter and exit the inside and outside of this treatment tank, In the outer water tank, a rotating water turbine for generating the water flow is disposed in a horizontal direction along the partition wall, and the upward water flow generated by the rotating water turbine is rectified to the first water flow passage opening. The problem is solved by arranging the rectifying unit to be placed on the rotating turbine.
- the food processing apparatus introduces the water flow in the tangential direction generated by the rotating water turbine into the water tank by narrowing the direction by the rectifying unit. For this reason, it is not necessary to use a propeller type in which the agitating blade is twisted as a rotary turbine, and the shape of the agitating blade (runner) can be made uniform in the axial direction so that the generated water flow is not biased. Moreover, since the force which the stirring blade of a rotary water turbine rotates can be made into a water flow as it is, a strong water flow can be generated. Moreover, if the covered rectifying unit is removed, both the rectifying unit and the rotating water turbine can be easily cleaned, and therefore maintainability is higher than a piping structure that is easily closed.
- the configuration of the rectifying unit includes, for example, the following forms.
- the direction of the upward water flow can be changed efficiently, and the first water flow passage port can be passed through the outlet and sent to the treatment tank.
- straightening part can be mounted
- arc-shaped blades serving as stirring blades have a sufficient length in the axial direction facing the horizontal direction so as not to bias the water flow as much as possible, and are approximately equal to the length between the side walls of the water tank. It should be about the length.
- the rectification unit that rectifies the water flow, the first water flow passage port through which the rectified water flow passes, and the above It is preferable that any of the second water flow passage openings has a horizontal length substantially equal to the horizontal length of the stirring blade of the rotary turbine.
- the shape of these mouths is preferably a horizontally long slit so that the entire area can be covered while maintaining the momentum of the water flow.
- a shaft portion not provided with runners near both ends is placed on a sliding bearing, the rotary turbine is fixed so as not to be displaced in the axial direction, and water is supplied between the receiving tool and the holding tool.
- the shaft can slide as a lubricant so that it can rotate freely.
- the water sent from the rotary turbine flows into the rotary turbine from many directions other than the direction from which the rectifying unit delivers. Specifically, there are axial ends, a front-rear direction with respect to the water tank, and a lower side, and it is particularly preferable to flow in from all these directions. If the inflow of water is only from both ends in the axial direction, the water may not reach the central portion in the axial direction, and the water flow may be biased. If the water that has entered the rectifying unit from below or before and after is directed upward by the rotational movement of the rotary turbine, the water flow is less likely to be obstructed and the water pressure is easily maintained. In addition, since water is supplied over the entire axial direction of the rotary turbine, even when the first water flow passage opening and the second water flow passage opening are widened as much as possible in the horizontal direction, the water is stable over the entire area. Water can be fed into the
- a water gap is arranged between the bottom surface of the outer water tank and the lowermost end of the rotating water turbine, and water falls into the gap.
- the structure which enables supply by sucking up water to the rotary turbine is mentioned. It is preferable that the space from the gap to the side rotating upward of the rotary turbine is open because water is efficiently supplied to the rotary turbine. Also, in this case, instead of opening the entire lower surface of the rotating turbine, a lower plate is provided between the bottom surface and the rotating turbine and only the portion that takes in the upward water flow is cut out, so that the downward water flow is further reduced. The waste that occurs can be suppressed.
- a water inlet is provided in the rectifying unit. If the lower side of the shaft height of the rotary turbine is opened and can flow from the periphery toward the rotary turbine, water can be supplied efficiently.
- the rotary turbine is mounted on a fixed bearing having a height such that the gap is formed with the bottom surface of the outer water tank.
- a sliding surface is assumed.
- the said rotary water turbine can be removed with the said rectification
- the sliding bearing is fixed on the lower plate, and a fixing hole is formed in the lower plate, and the fixing hole can be installed from above so that the protruding hole protrudes upward from the fixing base.
- the rotating water turbine is installed at a position higher than the bottom of the treatment tank and the water tank and close to the water surface. If the distance from the rotating water turbine to the first water flow passage port is too long, the momentum of the water flow is easily attenuated.
- the rectifying unit that receives the upward water flow is bent along the circular arc when the upward water flow is directed to the first water flow passage port in the horizontal direction by the curved surface portion having an arcuate cross section. Attenuation is minimized.
- the water supplied to the rotating water turbine is not only supplied from the outside, but may be circulated throughout the food processing apparatus by receiving the water overflowing from the treatment tank in the outer water tank.
- a pressure difference is generated, and the water level in the treatment tank and the water tank to which water is supplied becomes higher than the water level in the outer water tank. For this reason, water is returned from the heel to the outer water tank at a height that allows sufficient cleaning in the treatment tub.
- the capacity of the outer water tank needs to be sufficient to supply water to the rotating water turbine even when water is sucked into the water tank due to a water pressure difference when the rotating water turbine is driven and the water level of the outer water tank decreases. is there. For this reason, if the depth to the bottom surface of the outer water tank is shallow and the position of the rotating water turbine is too high, there is a risk of hindering water supply. Moreover, even if the volume of the outer water tank is too small, there is a possibility that the supply of water is similarly hindered.
- the net part for filtering out the exclusion object under the jar overflowing with water from the treatment basin so that the water passing through the net part falls to the water intake side of the rotary turbine.
- the net part is hooked on the edge of the wall of the outer water tank and the edge of the partition wall, and the net part is preferably developed between them.
- a passive disk having a permanent magnet attached to the surface facing the wall surface is attached to one end portion in the axial direction of the rotating turbine toward the wall surface of the outer water tank.
- a slight gap is provided between the passive disk and the wall surface of the outer water tank, and no hole is formed in the wall surface of the outer water tank.
- a motor is attached to the outside of the outer water tank that faces the passive disk across the outer wall of the outer water tank, and an operating disk with a permanent magnet attached to the surface facing the wall surface is also rotated by this motor. Attach to.
- This operating disk is also provided at a position where a slight gap is provided between the outside and the wall surface, and facing the passive disk with the outer wall interposed therebetween.
- the working disk and the passive disk attract each other, they are attached so as to be freely rotatable on the spot so as not to approach the other party beyond the wall.
- the passive disk is rotated by the magnetic force between permanent magnets, and the rotating water wheel itself can be rotated to generate a water flow by rotating the passive disk.
- the mechanical mechanism is simple, it is easy to clean, and since there is no hole in the wall surface, it is easy to maintain water tightness.
- the rotation of the rotary turbine is once stopped, and then the treatment tank is lifted. This is because if the treatment tank is lifted and the second water flow passage opening is shifted, the water flow may hit the wall surface of the treatment basket and scatter.
- the processing object is moved to the next step from the processing tank, and the rotating water turbine is moved again after storing the processing tank in the water tank.
- This food processing apparatus can be used alone or in combination with a plurality of units.
- new water is supplied to the final processing side (upstream side) water tank or the external water tank to perform final cleaning and final processing. Improve the quality of the finish.
- the rotating water turbine is similarly stopped at the stage where the processing at that stage is completed, and the outer water tank After opening the water level, the shutter connected to the downstream food processing apparatus is opened.
- the said external water tank when connecting the external water tank of the said multiple food processing apparatus with the said water channel, the said external water tank has sufficient length in the direction which connects the said processing troughs so that it may be easy to connect with the said water channel. It is good to have.
- the outer water tank surrounds not only the part where the rotating water turbine is provided, but also one or both of both side surfaces of the water tank.
- the water channel may be connected by another connection method. Specifically, among a series of three or more food processing devices that perform processing continuously, by connecting one or more food processing devices separated from each other by a bypass water channel, The food processing apparatus in the middle of being isolated without being connected to the water channel can perform treatment with an aqueous solution different from the preceding and subsequent food processing apparatuses.
- treatment liquids such as hypochlorous acid water and hot water are used independently. be able to.
- Examples of processing that can be performed by the food processing apparatus according to the present invention include, for example, seasoning with a chemical solution, boil processing with high-temperature water, and sterilization processing in addition to washing food. Even in these treatments, unevenness in the finish of the processed food is less likely to occur due to the water flow in which the bias is similarly eliminated. Moreover, the cooling process by cold water and the thawing

- the treatment basket 12 with the upper surface opened is housed and supported in a water tank 13 with the upper surface opened. Moreover, it has the drive device 20 which lifts this processing trough 12 to the exterior of the water tank 13, and rotates so that the open surface of this processing trough 12 may incline in one direction, ie, incline and rotate.
- the treatment basket 12 is a bowl for putting a processing object 31 made of various foods, processed foods, etc. into a washing, heating treatment or sterilization treatment.
- the processing rod 12 has a bottom surface formed in a mesh shape or has a large number of holes (see FIG. 2).
- the chute 12 is provided with a chute 41 on the end edge 40 on the lower side when it is inclined.
- the tip of the chute 41 is narrowed as shown in FIG.
- This chute 41 makes it easy to move the processing object 31 in the processing basket 12 to the next process such as the next adjacent food processing apparatus 11.
- the width of the chute 41 on the side of the processing rod 12 may be such that the processing object 31 does not spill outside when the processing rod 12 is tilted and the processing object 31 in the processing rod 12 is moved.
- the length of the end edge 40 is preferably equal to the width of the chute 41.
- the length from the edge 40 which is a base part of the chute 41 with the processing rod 12 to the tip of the chute 41 needs to be a length that can sufficiently send the processing object 31 to the outside of the processing rod 12.

- the treatment rod 12 can maintain a state in which its open surface is directed upward.
- support plates 44 project outwardly at positions higher than the fulcrum pins 43 on both side surfaces of the treatment rod 12. As will be described later, the support plate 44 is used when the treatment basket 12 is inclined. It is sufficient that the support plate 44 is provided only in the vicinity of the position where the fulcrum pins 43 are provided on both end surfaces of the treatment rod 12.
- the drive device 20 for rotating the processing rod 12 has the following configuration.
- a cylinder 25 such as a hydraulic cylinder is connected to the rotary hook 24, and the rotary shaft 21 is rotated by pressing the rotary hook 24.
- the rotation shaft 21 can be rotated with respect to a bearing 22 fixed to the water tank 13 or the outer water tank 14.

- the pivot arm 26 has an arm tip 29 that extends further beyond the support 27.
- the support portion 27 is a long hole cut obliquely from the upper end side near the tip of the rotating arm 26. Thereby, it becomes easy to insert the fulcrum pin 43 into the rotation arm 26. If the rotating arm 26 is rotatable with respect to the fulcrum pin 43, only a hole that can accommodate only the fulcrum pin 43 and is not connected to the outside may be provided. However, in that case, it becomes difficult to remove the processing rod 12 and perform maintenance.
- a long hole cut from the outside is provided, a circular round shape having a radius of curvature larger than the diameter in the middle of the long hole can be provided in the vicinity of the cut inside the cut portion.

- the second water flow passage port 42 is slit-shaped, has a horizontal length close to both side walls of the treatment basket 12, and is preferably slightly larger than the outlet 95 of the rectifying unit 74 described later.
- the treatment rod 12 is provided with a curved surface portion 48 having a circular arc section from the bottom mesh portion 47 toward the chute 41. After the processing on the processing object 31 is finished, the processing object 31 can be efficiently dropped toward the chute 41 and the water flow introduced from the second water flow passage port 42 is efficiently directed toward the bottom. By being bent in the direction, the effect of efficiently circulating the processing object 31 in the processing rod 12 is exhibited.
- a drain port 52 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 13. Although the valve is closed during use, drainage is possible by opening the valve as appropriate after use or when replacing water. Although not shown in the figure, an upper drain outlet is separately provided at a position higher than the standard water level A of the outer water tank 14 to be described later so that when the water is appropriately supplied and exceeds the standard water level A, the overflowed water can be discharged.

- the partition wall 56 between the water tank 13 and the outer water tank 14 located on the opposite side of the chute 41 is a slit shape that allows a water flow to pass to a position corresponding to the second water flow passage opening 42 of the treatment tank 12.
- the first water flow passage port 55 is provided.
- straightening part 74 mentioned later is inserted here.
- the position of the first water flow passage port 55 may be a position below the water level B of the water tank 13 at the time of food processing (at the time of rotation of the rotating water wheel 73) and above half the deepest depth of the water tank 13, It is desirable to be close to the water surface. This is because in order to appropriately treat the processing object 31 having a lighter specific gravity than water, it is required to cause a strong water flow near the water surface.
- a front wall 45 for dropping water overflowing from the treatment tank 12 into the outer water tank 14.
- the front bowl 45 rides on a front edge 53 that is the upper end of the partition wall 56 that partitions the water tank 13 and the outer water tank 14.
- the side walls 46, 46 that drop the water overflowing from the treatment tank 12 toward the both side surfaces of the outer water tank 14 closer to the front wall 45 than the support plate 44. Is provided.
- the side walls 46, 46 are on the side edge portions 54, 54 that are the upper ends of the side partition walls 57, which are side walls between the water tank 13 and the outer water tank 14.
- the outer water tank 14 surrounds the water tank 13 from three sides of the side buffers 62 and 62 that wrap around along the side partition wall 57 of the water tank 13 and the water turbine region 63 along the partition wall 56 with the water tank 13.

- a lower plate 72 is provided so as to pass between the fixed bases 71, 71.
- Fixing holes 76 are provided in the vicinity of both ends of the lower plate 72, and the lower plate 72 is fixed by inserting the overhang piles 75 of the fixing table 71 into the fixing holes 76.
- Sliding bearings 77 are provided at both ends of the lower plate 72 upward. This is composed of a semi-cylindrical receiving portion and a fixing column upward, and is received with the rotating shaft 83 of the rotating water wheel 73 interposed therebetween.
- a lower rectifying plate 78 is provided below the partition wall 56 side of the lower plate 72 that extends toward the bottom surface of the outer water tank 14 over substantially the same length as the axial length of the rotary water turbine 73.
- the lower flow straightening plate 78 When the lower flow straightening plate 78 is present, water does not flow downward from the partition wall 56 to the rotating water turbine 73. At the same time, the water flow generated by the rotating water turbine 73 does not flow into the partition wall 56 side from below. Accordingly, water can easily flow into the rotary turbine 73 from the front water intake port 100 of the rectifying unit 74, which will be described later, and the momentum of the generated water flow can be stabilized.
- the lower plate 72 is formed with a lower plate blanking portion 79 which is thinned on the side far from the partition wall 56. More specifically, it is desirable that the side farther from the axis center of the rotating shaft 83 received by the sliding bearing 77 is thinned, and the plate is left on the side closer to the axis center. The remaining plate suppresses the occurrence of a downward water flow due to the rotation of the rotary turbine 73, and rotates upward of the rotary turbine 73 from the gap below the fixed base 71 through the lower plate blanking portion 79. Water flows into the side, and the water flow can be generated efficiently.

- the concave surface of the arcuate blade 82 having an arcuate cross section faces the rotational direction of the rotary water turbine 73 and is arranged so that water can be efficiently received and sent out. That is, when the arcuate blades 82 turn upward, the concave side surface is arranged to face the treatment basket 12.
- the annular portion 81 may be provided not only at both ends but also in the axial direction. By providing the annular portion 81 in the middle of the axial direction, the stability of the arcuate blade 82 is increased. However, since the momentum of the water flow is reduced even if there are too many annular portions 81, the number of annular portions 81 other than both ends may be one or two.
- the form of the runner is not particularly limited as long as it can efficiently generate a water flow.
- the runner may extend radially from the rotating shaft 83 without generating a gap. If it is this form, it will be easy to make the rotational force of the rotating shaft 83 into a water flow.

- the rectifying unit 74 includes a front plate 92 that covers the partition wall 56 side, and a back plate 91 that covers the outer wall 65 side of the rotary water turbine 73. Above the back plate 91, a cross-section arc-shaped portion 93 having an arc-shaped cross section in the axial direction is bent toward the front plate 92.
- the front plate 92 is perforated as a front water intake 100 in the lower half or more as described later.
- the upper portion of the front plate 92 is bent toward the back plate 91 and further folded back toward the partition wall 56 so that a constricted portion 94 is formed between the front plate 92 and the back plate 91.
- This throttle portion 94 covers half of the upper part of the rotary turbine 73 on the partition wall 56 side.
- the curved surface of the throttle portion 94 has a shape that does not collide with the rotating water turbine 73 and is preferably as close as possible to the outer periphery of the rotating water turbine 73 in terms of water flow efficiency.
- the tip of the throttle portion 94 is aligned in the same direction as the tip of the arcuate section 93, and a horizontal slit-like air outlet 95 is formed between them.
- the air outlet 95 is inserted into the first water flow passage 55 of the water tank 13.
- the water flow generated by the rotating water turbine 73 passes through the first water flow passage port 55 via the blowout port 95, and the water flow is discharged therefrom to the second water flow passage port 42 of the treatment tank 12.
- An upper pressing portion 97 serving as a tab for fixing the rectifying unit 74 by being pressed against the partition wall 56 of the water tank 13 is provided above the vicinity of the tip of the air outlet 95.
